Activism comes in many forms. It isn't always grand, and most people never know about it, but it still matters. Don't forget to be the change where you are.

the fact that textbooks are still writing about Native American people like this... this rhetoric was published in 2020 y'all.
The 2019 article about #PubMed coauthored by me and @LibGirl09 has now been cited 100 times! What!! scholar.google.com/citations…
This is 1000% accurate. In fact, things were much worse than Melissa conveys here. But, shout out to the UTA Library diaspora. We are strong despite it all.

An increase in self-reported use of a reporting guideline in systematic reviews was observed between 2014-2020, finds study @mjpages.
However, there was no evidence that reviews using a guideline were more completely reported than those not using one

Get ready to enjoy all those beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes...
Did you know Shirley Caesar, The Queen of Gospel Music, is from Durham?
Something I’d like to share in these turbulent Twitter (potentially end)times is that
Librarians do surveys how everyone else does systematic reviews - completely winging it. There isn’t any basic social science methodology. Literally throwing questions into a Qualtrics form.

It started with 300 authors speaking out in support of libraries. Now, more than 1,000 authors have signed on to stop corporate publishers from undermining the traditional rights of libraries to own, preserve & lend books. #AuthorsForLibraries
BREAKING: 1000+ authors are now calling on major publishers to end a broad lawsuit over digital lending and ownership, as well as for trade association CEOs to stop characterizing librarian advocates as “mouthpieces” for Big Tech. fightforthefuture.org/author…

Librarians have advanced degrees and wildly specialized skills. Librarians deserve to make 6 figures. All of us.
And if an org cares, they can make it happen. That's what I make as a non-supervisory medical librarian, outside of academia.
The fact that people see this tweet and are more upset about librarians/teachers potentially making $85k than about actual managers actually making $300k…

I will end on this: if YOU do not make enough, then YOU should be fighting for better for the next person, not trying to hold them down to your pay level. That’s how we all get stuck without much advancement.
